# Surface Rank

> Surface Rank is a Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) platform that helps websites rank in AI-powered search engines including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and Bing Copilot.

Surface Rank tracks AI-referred traffic in real time at the edge, attributes each visit to its source AI engine, and delivers actionable optimisation recommendations so clients earn more citations across 12+ AI search surfaces.

## Core Services

- **AI Traffic Attribution**: Identifies the AI tool behind every visit — human vs live AI-agent retrieval vs training-bot crawl — which page was cited, and downstream behaviour. Runs at the CDN edge with no sampling, including spoofed-bot detection.
- **AI Visibility & Observed Citations**: AEO visibility score with per-agent breakdown, plus observed citations captured at the edge when an AI engine actually retrieves a page to answer a query.
- **LLM Mention Tracking**: Prompt-level tracking of brand mentions across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode for the queries buyers actually ask.
- **Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)**: Optimises content structure, entity coverage, schema markup, and authority signals so generative models surface the client's brand unprompted.
- **Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)**: Tracks citation frequency across Perplexity, ChatGPT, Bing Copilot, and others. Identifies which pages earn citations and how to increase citation rate.
- **GEO Audits**: Site-wide audits covering citability score (0–100), schema gaps, llms.txt compliance, E-E-A-T signals, and technical crawlability. Delivered as a branded PDF with a prioritised action plan. A free instant AI-visibility scan is available on the website.
- **AI Optimization Recommendations**: A ranked action list generated from visibility data: which pages to restructure, which entities to strengthen, which schema to add.
- **llms.txt Generation**: Generates curated llms.txt and llms-full.txt files from real site content, ready to self-host at the domain root.
- **AI Crawler Management**: Routes AI crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, etc.) to structured, citation-optimised content experiences.
- **Client Analytics Portals**: OTP-secured, read-only portals that let agencies share AI traffic data with their clients under a white-labelled interface.
- **Multi-site Management**: Portfolio-level dashboard with aggregated AI traffic across all domains.
